Employee benefits consultancy Vintage Corporate has joined Grid, the industry body for the group risk sector, as it looks to expand beyond the corporate pensions market.

Vintage Corporate specialises in workplace pension schemes, financial education and flexible rewards. The company advises over 1,000 corporate pension clients and is looking to capitalise on the opportunity to introduce them to group risk.

Grid works with government departments and regulators involved in legislation and regulation affecting group risk benefits, as well as other organisations involved in the benefits and financial protection arenas. The organisation promotes group risk and the value it can add.

Vintage Corporate managing director Gary Briggs says: “We’re looking forward to working with group risk specialists within the industry – both providers and advisers, learning from their expertise and, in so doing, improve how we operate. We’re a growing company and this will help us on the next stage of our journey. It’s also going to be a very useful forum to help us work at the top of our game in group risk, and keep abreast of relevant legislation.”

Grid chair Steve Bridger says: “We’re a constantly evolving industry body, we’ve had great feedback on the initiatives we’ve undertaken this year, from our Training Academy to our research. We all learn from each other’s expertise and knowledge, and that benefits the industry, clients and employees. We very much welcome Vintage Corporate and look forward to working together.”
